Red is undrinkable unless you mask it deep within strong mixers.
Black on the rocks was my normal drink when hitting the underground rock clubs in L.A. You just can’t go wrong with this.
Gold seems best when paired with a rich dessert.
I look forward to trying Green and Blue.
Johnnie Walker Blue Label King George V and Johnnie Walker Blue Label are my favorite. I enjoy Green with a great cigar and Johnnie Walker Swing is amazing.
